CT Virtual Learning - Terms and Conditions

Terms and Conditions

These terms of agreement entered into between The CT Virtual Learning Center and (School District Name; Private School Name or Home Schooled Student's Family Name). The CT Virtual Learning Center shall commence performance on the student's course start date and shall complete performance no later than June 31 of the academic year in which your student/s are participating.

Fees for Services The School/District agrees to the services described below for the designated fee per semester based course or full year course enrollment.

The School/district agrees to pay fees for each student registered. Students will be considered registered 30 days after they have been enrolled in a course providing they have not been dropped by their school administrators during the first 30 days of the student's enrollment period per the following terms:

Start Date: For students enrolled to begin with the start of the academic year or term, all courses begin in September or January on the date indicated in the Course Schedule. Students that are enrolled in a rolling enrollment course after the term start date will have a course start date of 24 hours from the day of the student's enrollment date. The student's enrollment date is the date that the student is added to the course roster.

Drop Period: The student will be granted a 30 day drop period beginning on the student's course start date. Schools may drop a student for any reason during that time period. After 30 days, schools will be invoiced for that student enrollment. The CT Virtual Learning Center staff will no longer drop or withdraw students from the system. This must be done by the District Online Learning Coordinator or guidance counselors at the participating schools.

Home schooled students are required to pre-pay via credit card to secure their enrollment in a course. If home school students are dropped before the 30 day drop period has ended, we will credit the amount to their credit card.

Registration System: When the District Online Learning Coordinator or counselor goes to VLC portal to register a student, they will see a balance allowance of the amount of money allocated by their school/district for this purpose. Once all the money is expended, no more students will be allowed to register until/unless additional funds are allocated. Home Schooled families must call the CT Virtual Learning Center to request and confirm a dropped student at 860-832-3930.

Alerts: Counselors and Mentors will receive an alert one week before the drop period for a student so that they can review the students' progress in the course prior to the drop period.

Invoicing: Schools/Districts will be invoiced quarterly (Sept 1, Dec. 1, March 1, and June 1) for students who are enrolled in courses after the drop period.
